9. "Blockade" is Cuban propaganda. It's an embargo.

We are not not blockading cuba. Cuba can trade with other countries and does. Even the US is one of Cuba's largest trade partners, so it's not even a full embargo.

Furthermore your comment or race is confusing, at best. Not only do black caribbeans immigrate to the US all the time, but we don't have a restrictive immigration policy with cuba. Any cuban that makes it to the US can stay. On top of that, the castros and Miguel Díaz-Canel are white, and dictators. Why even bring race up?
